Coach Cal On Willie Cauley-Stein: “It’s Not A Good Ankle Injury”

Update 2: Saturday afternoon, Calipari made it clear that Cauley-Stein is doubtful for Sunday’s Elite Eight contest against Michigan. He also reiterated that it is an ankle injury, not an achilles injury.

John Calipari on Willie Cauley-Stein. “He’s still in a boot. Hes doubtful for the game.”

Earlier: Kentucky sophomore forward Willie Cauley-Stein, who many project as a first round pick should he leave the Wildcats after the season for this year’s NBA Draft, has injured his left ankle during tonight’s game against Louisville in their Sweet 16 matchup. Cauley-Stein told trainers that he heard a “pop” in his ankle early in the first half.

There were rumors swirling that Cauley-Stein had potentially torn his Achilles tendon, but thankfully that does not appear to be the case.

Official word on Willie Cauley-Stein is that he will miss the remainder of the game with a left ankle injury.
